Cousin randomness.

Seeing the object of my affection's picture on my phone, cousin Ian asks: "Who's this?"
Me: "He's my imaginary boyfriend."
Ian: "What is his name?"
Me: [says name. hah! You thought I'd actually write out his name!]
Ian: "Where do you know him from? What does he do?"
Me: "[Blah, blah, blah.] He plays guitar, and really well, I might add."
Ian: "That's your kryptonite, Achau. Guitar players."
Me: "I guess so."

Fun stuff with mom.

My mom saw a picture of the object of my affection on my phone, and asked who he is. I told her he's my imaginary boyfriend. She laughed, but said that he's handsome. Well, mom approves. ;)

Ever since we started having our church services at Emmanuel Church in Lakewood, I've developed an interest in learning how to play the drums, thanks to the drumset they have there. Here's a video of me, messing around with the drums.



I've never taken lessons. I just kind of mimic what I've seen on TV or on videos. I would like to have proper lessons, eventually, but for now, I'll settle on teaching myself. Thank goodness, YouTube has made it easier to do that. I've looked up videos of some tutorials.

I've been playing the keyboards more now, too. I haven't played in years. I play chords. Not to keen on reading notes, although I do know how to sight-read. Haven't done it in a while (sight-reading), so I'm a bit slow. I've been playing the keys for praise and worship at church since we move into Emmanuel.

I play the guitar. But, would like to get better at it. Glad that I have my cousin, Diane, a.k.a. New-new, to teach me. She's 16 and she can play the guitar with the best of them, imho. ;)

I want to tackle the sax, and the bass, as well. I've never touched a sax, to play, that is, but I have played a little bit of the bass. Just simple stuff on it, nothing too crazy. But, one instrument at a time. I'll concentrate on the drums first. Then, move on to the next instrument.

Someone is COMPLETELY confused...

Confused much? LOL

Repost from Given's blog (romnelvan.wordpress.com)

It's such a crazy coincidence that a few of the artists I admire, graduated/attended a couple of the colleges that I appleid for, right after high school. One was Berklee College of Music. Found out later on that Jeff Thacher, vocal percussionist of Rockapella, graduated from Berklee. I also found out John Mayer, and Ernie Halter attended that school. Quincy Jones, Pat Metheny, Dominic Miller, as well. And many more. I got accepted to Berklee, by the way. However, I was too chicken to leave the nest and go to school out-of-state. Hindsight 20/20? I should have totally gone!

And the other one was Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I applied, but didn't finish the process. Found out much, much later on that Michael Lindup, vocalist/keyboardist of Level 42, graduated from Guildhall.

Anyway, totally random. But, I was just thinking about that. Something I would have had in common with people I admire. Ernie and I could have been there around the same time, along with John Mayer. Crazy notion.

Something I stumbled upon whilst browsing the web.

"not sure if we've met already or have yet to meet but i cant wait to find out if you are the reason why the others never worked :)"

Saw this quote on another blog. Not sure where it's from, nor who it came from. But, me likey. :)

Pangarap ko ang Ibigin Ka (Sarah Geronimo in PNB)

Para sa'yo.



Pangarap Ko Ang Ibigin Ka (by Sarah Geronimo)

Tuwing ikaw ay nariyan
Sabay kong nadarama ang kaba at ligaya
Ang 'yong tinig wari ko'y di marinig
'Pagkat namamangha 'pag kausap ka

Kaya nais kong malaman mo
Ang sinisigaw nitong puso

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Ikaw kaya ay nais din
Akong makapiling at ibigin
O kay sarap namang isipin
Na tayong dalawa ay isa ang damdamin

Aking hinihiling na sabihin mo
Ang linalaman ng 'yong puso


[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/pangarap-ko-ang-ibigin-ka-lyrics-sarah-geronimo.html ]

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

O kay tagal ko nang naghihintay
Na sa akin ay mag-aalay
Ng pag-ibig na tunay at di magwawakas

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Pangarap ko ang ibigin ka
At sa habang panahon, ikaw ay makasama
Ikaw na lang ang siyang kulang sa buhay kong ito
Pangarap ko..pangarap ko..pangarap ko ang ibigin ka

Trying out a different blog application

Trying to post on my numerous blogs on the web. Can't find the perfect application. I'm trying out Microsoft Word, but I can only blog to my Blogger and WordPress accounts.

This is a test...

Trying out this Blog It app.

I was actually referring to the guitar, on my previous post.


hehehehe

I want. I REALLY want. There, I said it. *sigh* LOL
